The building meets the rigorous, holistic standards of the Living Building Challenge.
The Forge a Legacy campaign also saw the rise of the new, 9,200-square-foot Hodson Boathouse by the Chester River. Support for the boathouse, dedicated last fall, came from The Hodson Trust and more than 150 donors, including former rowing and sailing team members and other alumni. With environmental sustainability at the forefront, Hodson Boathouse is heated and cooled by an energy-efficient geothermal well system, lighting is entirely LED, and the deck is made of recycled plastic.
The campaign鈥檚 success creates extraordinary opportunities for current and future students, not the least of which is more than $38 million for scholarships, ensuring an exceptional education for promising students, regardless of means.
